An efficient, easy to use and inexpensive method for purification of potable water with the aid of adsorbent contained in a pouch made of permeable fabric. This pouch is inserted into a suitable container, through which water is made to trickle under gravity into a reservoir.

Disclosed is a motor-driven snivel inhaler wherein the same vacuums out snivel from a human nose through a snivel guide member into a snivel storage pipe, so that the snivel of infants, little children, or patients unable to blow their own noses can be disposed of by the present device. The snivel inhaler of the present invention is hand held, so the same is convenient and safe to use.

Apparatus and a process for providing oxygen and hydrogen at a desired minimum pressure from an electrolyser comprising an anolyte solution having an anolyte liquid level; a catholyte solution having a catholyte liquid level; oxygen generated at an oxygen pressure above said anolyte; hydrogen generated at a hydrogen pressure above said catholyte for passage through hydrogen outlet means; the metho...

A load balancing technique for optimally routing data packets to a hybrid terminal over an asymmetric hybrid network link, which utilizes a bi-directional terrestrial channel and a satellite channel. For each data packet received from an Internet server, a load-balancing algorithm is employed to determine whether to route the packet via the bi-directional terrestrial channel or the satellite chann...

The present invention relates to a method and system for supplying document accumulation sets to an inserter system wherein sheets are first feed into a sheet stacking device to be stacked into a stacking pile. Individual sheets are then fed in seriatim from the stacking pile into a collating device, which collates a predetermined number of the individual sheets into a collation set. The collation...
